Many people were feared killed and several houses razed during a renewed Bassa-Igburra crisis in Bassa Local Government Area of Kogi State.
Newsmen gathered that Bassa local government area had for long been in crisis but was witnessing peace in the last two years due to the security intervention of Governor Yahaya Bello‘s administration.
According to a source, the renewed crisis erupted on Monday, May 30, when two Bassas were allegedly killed at a farm at Uga-Cheure near Oguma and Korumu near Udogbo in Bassa Local Government Area.
It was further gathered that due to purported past hostilities between Igburra Mozum people and Bassas in the area, the Bassas were said to have believed that it was Igburra Mozum people who carried out the killings even though the perpetrators were not apprehended at the scene of the crime.
In spite of these misgivings, Bassas were said to have reported the incident to the Divisional Police post at Oguma and remained calm.
While the dust of the killings was yet to settle two Bassas were again alleged to have killed at a farm in Sheria and Korumu near Odugbo respectively on Thursday of the same week, being June 2, 2022. The attackers were also not identified.
